Don't know much about the speedpro pistons but the price looks pretty cheap. Remember you get what you pay for. Don't skimp on the pistons in a turbo car!!! Look into CP or JE pistons if I were you. Those rods would probably do. What are your goals?

I need something that can handle at least 800whp.

Well the 2 I mentioned are good choices, I'd probably get CPs, I wish I had but it's to late I got JEs with a -31cc dish. My CC chambers are prety big and my compression comes out to around 8.5:1 I did skimp on the rods and got generic brand 4340 H beams. I have a eagle 4340 crank. If I were to do it again I would have got the same crank but eagle or scat rods and CP pistons. But my engine is allready built!

call Wiseco direct and talk to Brian Nutter, they carry K1 Billet Rods for a great price and tons of piston configurations for the ltx guys now.
